My Review: A book that will bring a smile to your face!
I have long wondered what exactly was going on in M.K.'s head, so I was pretty excited to find out in M.K.'s story. This book was such a fun read, because I got to revisit some of my favorite characters from previous books, like Hank, Fern, Amos, M.K. and Jimmy Fisher, as well as the new family in town.
This book was full of plenty of great storylines, with M.K. working to solve a murder and helping Jimmy Fisher get his future Missus to take notice of him :) Along with Chris trying to make a stable home for him and his sister.
Overall, this is one of those books that you can just sit back and relax with. I couldn't keep from smiling as I read. M.K. is such a fun character! An utterly enjoyable read!
I received this book from the publisher in return for an honest review. Thanks!

About the Book:
Centered on one of Suzanne Woods Fisher's
most loved characters, this is the story fans have eagerly anticipated. The
precocious M.K. is all grown up (well, almost) and ready to take on the
world-with surprising results. Fisher's trademark plot twists and turns are as
unexpected and satisfying as ever in this third book in the Stoney Ridge Seasons
series.
In her wildest dreams, spunky and impulsive nineteen-year-old Mary Kate Lapp never imagined herself behind a schoolteacher's desk. A run-in (literally) with the schoolteacher compels her to act as a substitute teacher, just as her restless desire to see the world compels her to apply for a passport . . . just in case. The only thing of interest to M.K. in the sleepy Amish community of Stoney Ridge is the unexplained death of a sheep farmer that coincided with the arrival of a mysterious young man into the community. Frustrated that no one takes the crime seriously, she takes matters into her own hands. Unfortunately, as tends to be the case for M.K., she jumps headlong into trouble.

Hi Faye! Thanks so much for your review of "The Lesson"--loved your comments about M.K. and Jimmy. (Sneak peek...Jimmy Fisher has a big role in the next series. And yes, he does grow up!). Sorry it took me a while to stop by...I had a manuscript due in just as "Lesson" released. So grateful for for your thoughtful and well written review, Faye! Warmly, Suzanne
